Jimney is a "god car", it and the domestic BJ212 and Russia's Radaniwa and called "men's big toys", the difference is that Jimney is not considered "industrial garbage", on the contrary, Jimni has a high status in the off-road field. Excellent off-road ability with a small and lean appearance, so that many off-road enthusiasts are addicted, and even some friends engaged in outdoor work also regard Jimney as their right-hand man, but when such a car needs to spend more than 300,000 yuan to buy, I think many people feel the same as me: Is it crazy?!
After Suzuki withdrew from the Chinese market, it released the fourth generation of Jimney, which made its value soar overnight, the original hundreds of thousands of cars, now want to buy new models need to be imported through parallel imports, the price has soared to 328,800 yuan. Compared with the third generation of Jimney, the new model adopts the "square box" shape design, which looks a bit like a condensed version of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and it is precisely because of this shape that the new Jimney looks particularly attractive.
The practicality is extremely poor, the cost performance is extremely low, but some people buy it.
The fourth generation of Jimney is a product that is incompatible with modern cars, it does not have a cool large screen, there is no interior full of sci-fi atmosphere, and even its interior materials are not called "high-end atmosphere", and even seem a little cheap. Needless to say, the three-door and four-seat layout is tucked into the 3395/1475/1725mm body, and under the wheelbase data of 2250mm, the interior space can be described as "crowded". Even so, there are still people who are willing to pay for it, and these consumers are not unaware of Jimney's shortcomings, but one thing is a perfect score, that is: unparalleled passage of sex.
Driving a Jimney is basically capable of most scenes, whether it is urban commuting or mountain stream woodland off-road, it shows the ability to drive, can bring great fun.
1.5L naturally aspirated engine, maximum power 120 horsepower, peak torque 130N·m, this parameter is not even as good as a family car of about 100,000 yuan, the gearbox is backward 5-speed manual or 4AT, not economical. The advantage of this power system is reliable and durable, and the strong power and fuel economy have nothing to do with it. The non-load-bearing body and suzuki AllGrip four-wheel drive system are not much to say, which is the basic quality of Jimney as a small hardcore off-road vehicle.
Although the interior looks low, But the configuration of Jimney also gave a lot of sincerity, such as ramp start, steep slope slow down, AEB active brake and other safety configurations also appeared in the new generation of products. Although the safety improvement of the whole vehicle is very limited, these configurations are better than nothing, especially for novice drivers, the help is still very large.
Finally, let's go back to the original question, 328,800 yuan to buy a parallel import of Jimney, is it crazy?
First of all, my attitude, although I personally like the Jimney very much, I have also moved my mind to get a Jimney. However, I will certainly not accept this price. In fact, I think more than 200,000 yuan is considered a "serious premium", let alone more than 300,000 units. Of course, this does not mean that the parallel import of Jimney can not be sold, the fact may be the opposite of what everyone imagines, because of its unique strength, the lack of competitors in the same market, coupled with the product itself is very rare, which creates a good market soil for him, that is to say, 328,800 Jimney, it is estimated that there are still people to buy, and there will be many people to buy.
